This is an old man’s book, not simply because of my age, but because I am taking one last basket to market, and I want to fill it with as many good eggs as I can find. The title poem is followed by poems for Isabelle and other members of my incredibly loveable family. The next group of poems is a broad mix, the first having been written in recent years; then poems written over my many decades, at one time or another having been considered for a book but rejected, now all have been revised sufficiently well to satisfy my fussy taste. Obviously, I chose everything here and stand by my pickings. Just as clear is that you, dear reader, range over great latitudes with untrammeled feelings. May the muses of poetry bless you.
